It was on Simi Garewal’s show, Rendezvous with Simi Garewal when Neetu Kapoor had thrown some light on her married life with Rishi Kapoor. She had shared that romance is much more than romantic candlelight dinners and going on dates. For her and her husband, romance was more about togetherness and nurturing their children together. And that she felt had made her love story with Rishi Kapoor more romantic than Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol starrer film, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge.

On January 22, 2021, Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor would have completed 41 years of their married life.

Would have been our 41 years today”, followed by a heartbroken emoji.

On the radio show, Suhaana Safar with Annu Kapoor hosted by Annu Kapoor, Neetu Kapoor had recalled the initial days of her meeting with Rishi Kapoor. She had stated, “I had a horrible first meeting with Rishi Kapoor. He had a habit of bullying, so he would comment on my make-up and clothes, and I'd feel so angry. He was actually a brat who would bully everyone and I was very young at that time. I used to be furious with him.” (Also Read: When Rishi Kapoor Dressed Like A Girl And Kissed Neetu Singh On The Sets Of Their Film Rafoo Chakkar)
